About half of the city of Sacramento proper does [1], not that you need meters to restrict lawn watering or car washing.

While some restrictions can be enforced via other means, metering and noting aberrantly high consumption patterns can both show unobserved violations and find other causes of wasting -- e.g., broken mains or pipes on a property.
